Help a Veteran save his business

Donation protected
Help a veteran and a family man save his business from corrupt state officials and a powerful lobbying group that are trying to steal it from him. I am going public with my story because I don't want what's happening to me to happen to anyone else. My name is Mike I am a family man, a veteran and a small business owner. I started a small business four years ago to help my wife and I put our kids through college. I was nervous when I first started because I was taking a big chance and my family needed the money but I went through the fair public bidding process and was fortunate enough to win and get a contract with the state. It is a true family business. I work almost 7 days a week over the summer my son helps me as does my father who is retired and my wife, who handles our payroll. It is hard work but we enjoy it and it made us happy to be building something that would help us put our kids through school.
A year ago I was approached by a state employee on behalf of a competitor of mine who is affiliated with a powerful lobbying group. This state official attempted to pressure me to sell my business to my competitor. When I refused this official along with his supervisor colluded with my competitor in an attempt to find a way around my legally obtained contract with the state. They have tried various means over the past year to steal parts of my business in order to give them to my competitor who is affiliated with a powerful lobbying group. I fought back and was able to prevent them from violating my contract. Now those same entities have conspired to steal my business out right by terminating my legal contract without cause and handing my business over to my competitor. I am only one man running a family business with very limited resources but I could not let this stand because I believe if I let corrupt state officials and big money do this to me without standing up then I become part of the problem rather than part of the solution. If they can do this to me they can do this to anyone. So I am one man who is going to stand up and fight as long as I can and I am asking for help from all those on the online community who are sick of seeing this type of governmental corruption on every level. If I can get the resources I will fight for myself my family and everyone else who is sick of seeing corrupt government officials big money and special interests hurt the little guy and thinking they can get away with it without anyone fighting back.
